what Mr. Tieed remarks, that a dull and infipid Apple is 
made moreguftful by being grafted on thcftock of the 
hariheft Crab, and an auftere Apple fomewhat mitigated 
on a ftock of gentler fruit. And I willingly embrace this 
occalion to offer my vote, that the Genet-moyles v!qxc^s 
well known^and as well fpread all over England, as the
